The Third largest city in Britain Manchester
By Mark on June 30, 2008
Manchester or (Mancunium in Latin), is a very large industrial metropolitan city in the county of Greater Manchester on the river Irwell in the north-west of England. Founded around the Roman times the city was developed in the 17th century as a material and textile town where the cotton industry became the main area for cotton and other materials and created lots of jobs. Manchester is a growing city and over the years it has managed to merge in to many great towns like Ashton under-Lyne, Oldham, Middleton, Salford and Stockport.

Never seen the Manchester grounds from above before, Mark. Very cool. It’s amazing to think that Old Trafford holds around 30,000 more fans than Man City’s ground.

yeah and yet you would have thought that man city’s ground would hold more as it is newer, just goes to show which is the most popular team. Manchester’s side or Trafford’s side. I think Manchester looks a cool place to visit with such a wide cultural society, and plenty to offer including bars, nightclubs, restaurants, theatres, sports and cinema’s. It’s a whole world of entertainment built into one city, London watch out.
